講座簡介:口訣的使用(the play of formulas)是一種新的理論,旨在解釋早期佛教傳統中論藏的方式(經,論),特別是在長阿含和中阿含(佛陀長部和中部的論集)。這一理論與學術界普遍接受的觀點相悖,學術界普遍認為經文主要是記錄和保存佛陀的教導和生活事件的嘗試。相反,在各種創造性載體的驅動下(主要以文學和禪修為載體),文本打破了和佛陀人物形象以及同其形象視覺化的深刻聯繫。口訣的使用(這一理論),解釋了口訣作為佛教口頭文本文化的基本單位,是如何結合在一起,從而產生有意義的文字模式和語句。口訣按照既定的敘事設計進行連接,不同類型的受眾不僅有自己獨特的口訣,而且有自己特定的敘事軌跡,與教義的重點相輔相成。

關於演講者:Dr. Eviatar Shulman teaches in the Departments for Religious Studies and Asian Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where he received all his academic degrees. He recently spent 3 years as a post-doc at the Mandel Scholion Center and taught at numerous other Israeli Universities before happily landing at HUJI. Shulman’s main field of expertise is Buddhism. In earlier stages of his career he focused on philosophical materials, mainly those of the great Indian Buddhist thinker Nāgārjuna. Then he moved to study early Buddhist philosophy and its relation to meditative techniques, an inquiry that led to his book Rethinking the Buddha: Early Buddhist Philosophy as Meditative Perception. He remains interested in Buddhist philosophy but is more concerned today with religious and literary aspects of Buddhism. His research and teaching also concern Indian philosophy and religion (Hinduism).
